Our School
Timaru Christian School is a decile 8, Year 1-10 state integrated school with approximately 160 students. We are a non-denominational Christian school so we have families who attend a wide range of Christian churches in our area.
The vision of Timaru Christian School is Christ-centred learners with servant hearts. Our vision applies to everyone from Board members to staff to students as we are all learners, here to serve God and others.
Our values are Love and Grace through Servanthood, Truth and Perseverance. These are aspects of our culture which are encouraged and lived out through our curriculum, our language and our interactions.
We are proud of the diversity of our school community. With around 14 cultures represented in our school family, and a large number of students who understand two or more languages, we celebrate the diversity of God’s people. In 2017 we became signatories to the Education (Pastoral Care of International Students) Code of Practice 2016, allowing us to enrol international students as well.
